Speaking about the writers' tendency to include tongue-in-cheek names in the drama, Jessica Ransom, who plays receptionist Morwenna, told What's on TV back in 2015: "We always put in funny patient names, we've had a lot of good fun putting a few of those in. We had a nice old lady the other day who was Alice Cooper."
Viewers were also pleased to see the return of guest star Ben Miller, who reprised his role as Portwenn park ranger Stewart James for the first time since 2005.
